Weekly Bird Sightings
Beginning
November 14, 2009

Notice! The sightings below are not exhaustive. These are sightings that several birders, working collaboratively, have noted at the River "S" unit of the Ridgefield NWR throughout each week. It is our wish that this weekly list will give you an idea of what you can find at the refuge and will inspire you to "go birding" and make up your own list. Perhaps you will be the one to find some of the uncommon (**) or rare (****) birds. Good Luck and Happy Birding!
